Congratulations! Your friend has just given birth to five beautiful kittens. That's quite a large litter. Now, the task of many tiny mouths to feed falls into her lap. I'm as pleased as you are that your friend has welcomed these new life forms into this community, and I imagine her family is delighted at the prospect of their growth and development. Should you see them, bestow the bundles with a big dose of affection. They'll warmly receive it from you, too.
